stone Park, which was under discussion
yesterday, was taken up. Van Wyck
inquired whether the bill proposed to
alter the dimensions of the Park. Man
derson replied that the limits were
extended on the east and west, but were
diminished two miles on the north.
Van Wyck intimated that the object of
changing the northern limit was to allow
q railruad to pass through these two
miles, and that would be dangerous to

proposition as being one to change and
define more clearly the limits of the

Important Decision.

HELENA, Mont, Jan, PA decision
has just been made by the supreme court
now in session in this city, of consider
able Importance and sustaining the de-
cision of the lower court. The Northern
Pacific Railroad Company was sued by
the United States for the sum of $1,l00,-
600 claimed to be due for timber cut upon
public lands in Missoula county. A de-
murer was put in to the complaint in the
trial in the district court and it was
sustained. The case was appealed to
the supreme court, which holds that the
Northern Pacific are not tenants in COM
mon of the land within the land grant
limits of the Northern Pacific road.
Each is clearly entitled to half of the
land within such limits, the United
States to the even numbered sections and
the Northern Pacific to the odd number
ed. This fact being established, i. only
remained to distinguish the land to
which each was entitled. By the
Northern Pacific charter. which is vir'
tually a contract between the United
States and the railroad company, the
United States agrees to survey the land
within the limit of the grant, for which
survey the railroad company was to beal
half of the expense. This survey has
never been made, therefore the United

PENSION LAWS.

The bill passed by the senate, granting
pensions of $1,000 a year to the widows
of Generals Logan and Blair, met with
opposition in the pension committee of
the house. The majority Of the COM
mite are reluctant to continue the policy
of granting high pensions to the widows
of officers who did not die from injuries
incurred in the service. The only pre-
cedents for such bills are in the cases Of
widows and families of Admiral Farra-
gut, and Generals Hancock, Thomas and
Grant. The majority of the committee
think it would be inadvisable to follow
these presidents in view of the fact that
there are now about n hundred sur
viving widows of officers, who would
then be entitled to pensions, who are
now excluded by the general law.
When that sweeping pension bill was
rushed through the house, providing fol-
dependent parents. and soldiers and
sailors who received no injuries during
their term of service, but are simply toe
bld or too feeble to work, all reasonable
people felt that the matter had been
oyerdone. If the senate passes this bill
also, the next step will be to pension
everybody who ever had anything to dc
with any Of the wars. One-fourth o.
the national e is already paid GU,
in pensions. In round numbers, eight
hundred millions have been taken oui
of the U. S. treasury for this purpose
since the war. All the powers of En-,
rope combined, with their immense
